Festive Bachelorette Party Ideas

If you’re the maid of honor or a bridesmaid you are probably thinking about throwing the bachelorette party, but you may be concerned about where to start, especially if its coming up within the next few weeks or days. You know that you want it to be unique, and not your typical run of the mill party. You also know you want it to be a night your bride will always remember, because it will be the last official night-out she will have with her girlfriends. Well, why not throw a themed bachelorette party that goes with the upcoming holidays! Here are some great ideas.

1.) The first idea to a great party would of course be the costumes! Everyone needs to break out their sexiest, most fabulous costumes and get ready for a night on the town. You could even do themed costumes, like have the bride dress up as a little devil, complete with horns and a red veil. All of the bridesmaids and other guests could dress up as angels with black wings. Especially if you have on Halloween, a lot of restaurants will be having costume parties and offering drink specials. You can also bring bags of candy with you and have the guys at the restaurants do dares for candy.

2.)   A great idea for November and Thanksgiving, is to have all the bridesmaids and the bride-to-be dress up in Indian headdresses or pilgrim hats. You could incorporate fall colors into your other bachelorette party ideas, maybe by choosing brown or orange  t-shirts/tank tops to decorate for all the guests to wear. You can also serve festive finger foods at your party like pumpkin bread, turkey sandwiches, and cranberry flavored shooters.

3.)   Christmas time is the best time for a “tis’ the season” bachelorette party. You could have the bride-to-be wear a Santa hat and a t-shirt that says “Future Mrs. Klaus” and the rest of the bridesmaids wear elf hats and t-shirts that say, “Santa’s Little Helpers”. You should incorporate festive colors like red, green, and gold and offer tiny wrapped presents to the guys who are willing to do dare or two for you or play your games. You can also indulge in some spiked eggnog!

4.)   What better way to ring in the New Year, than with a New Years Eve themed bachelorette party? Get some mardi-gras beads and some festive New Year’s hats. You can give away party horns, and your beads if people volunteer to play your games. You can also play a game where guys give the bride a dollar to kiss her on the cheek. Be sure to pop open some bubbly and bring in the New Year right.

As you can see, there are so many great ideas to help you celebrate your bachelorette party in a festive manner! Now that you have some starter ideas, you can just do some shopping and some web searching to see what else you can come up with that will help you give your bride one of the best nights of her life.

Feminine Gifts for Your Bridal Shower Favors

A key aspect of any bridal shower is the fact that there will only be women in attendance. That means you have to find something feminine and attractive to fit the bill as a party favor if you want to take the traditional route of thanking your guests for being a part of your bridal shower party.

Fortunately there are plenty of wonderful ideas out there, and by taking a look at some of the ones available you can get a good idea of what would suit your particular style of bridal shower.

For example, feminine can mean pretty and light colors, such as the ones used to finish candle holders, seed cards and small sets of playing cards (a good idea for an after dinner game of good natured – or not so good natured – poker perhaps?). But black and white can be equally elegant and should not go unnoticed as a stunning addition to any dinner table. Good examples of well designed bridal party favors in this department include a miniature white tea caddy on a black serving tray and black compact mirrors with a heart shape design in silver on the front.

As you can see there are plenty of ways that you can entertain or delight your guests with your bridal shower party favors, and it’s worth spending a bit of time thinking about which ones would suit them best. If you know who is going to be there and you are keeping numbers to a minimum then you could buy something individual for each person, making sure you buy nice feminine favor boxes to put each one in. You can then include a small thank you tag with each one, together with the name of the person it is intended for, and place it on each table setting, ready to be discovered by your delighted guests.

You don’t need to worry too much about budgeting for party favors for your bridal shower either, because there is a wide range of favors available to suit every pocket and every price range. If you want to spend a bit more then items such as a miniature oil decanter would go down well presented in a gorgeous gift box, particularly as it has an appropriate message on the front – ‘love’.

Some items for bridal showers are available in sets as well, so you could save money by buying more than one set at a discount if you have several women to buy for. Remember though that at the end of the day you don’t need to worry too much about whether the gift is big enough – it is merely intended to be a token of thanks to your female friends and family members. In any event there are so many party favors available to choose from that whatever your budget may be, you won’t have any trouble finding just the right items for your guests to enjoy on the night itself.

Creative Bachelorette Party Ideas

Is your idea of the perfect night going from one bar to the next wearing a cheap veil while a gaggle of drunken bridesmaids try to get strange men to do belly shots off your tummy? Not so much? Well, spending time with your bridesmaids does not have to mean a bar crawl or a trip to Chippendale’s. Take a look at these creative bachelorette party ideas, from elegant to outdoorsy to fun.

When the bride chooses her bridesmaid gifts, she tries to carefully think about the tastes and lifestyles of her friends. The same should be true of the bridesmaids when putting together a bachelorette party. Just as not all bridesmaid gifts have to be the same for every wedding, nor does every bachelorette outing have to be centered around alcohol and naked guys (unless, of course, that’s what the bride wants!). Use the bride’s interests as your inspiration when planning a girls’ get-together for her. This list of suggestions can be a great place to start:

Art Museum: Did you meet the bride at an art history class in college? Is checking out gallery openings one of her favorite ways to spend the weekend? Then a trip to an art museum could be a perfect idea for the bachelorette party. Get the group together for a private guided tour of a museum and finish with an elegant lunch at the museum cafe or nearby bistro. If you don’t happen to live near any major museums, consider making this part of a weekend trip for the bridal party to the nearest art-filled big city.

Private Yoga Lesson or Golf Clinic: Does the bride-to-be need a set of sun salutations to get her morning started? Or maybe her dream is to be good enough to hit the links each Saturday with her future husband. Private lessons for the bridesmaid group could be just the thing for a bachelorette party alternative. Setting up a special yoga session can be done through the bride’s favorite yoga studio (bonus points for surprising her by booking her favorite instructor). A weekend golf clinic would make a fantastic weekend trip for the wedding party. There are special golf programs for women at scenic locations around the country, including Sedona, AZ, Palm Springs, CA, and Myrtle Beach, SC.

Slumber Party: If you are looking for a fun way to get all the bridesmaids and bride together without spending a lot of money, have an old-fashioned slumber party. Make it like the ones you had in junior high; rent your favorite movies from that time, load your ipod with the hits from back then, and serve up plenty of pizza and soda (a few bottles of wine will add a grown up touch to the party). If you really want to recreate the junior high slumber party for the bachelorette, play a few rounds of Truth or Dare, find out once and for all if light as a feather, stiff as a board really does work, and stay up until dawn sharing secrets and laughs. Finish it off with a trip to a diner for brunch the next morning.

Camping: Maybe the bride is a naturalist whose idea of a great time is getting back to nature. If so, a camping trip with the girls might be her perfect bachelorette event. Of course everyone’s idea of roughing it is different, so be sure to take her preferred style of camping into account, whether it is a tent on the ground or a deluxe pop-up camper. A couple of nights out in the woods, toasting marshmallows under the stars could be a fantastic way to melt away the wedding planning stress and bond with friends.

Rhinestone Maid of Honor and Matron of Honor Tank Tops. Perfect for all of those Pre-wedding Parties and Events. Wear to bridal showers, Bachelorette Parties, Rehearsal and Engagement Parties. More designs also available for the Bride, Bride to Be, Bridesmaids, Mother of the Bride and Groom, Just Married and the Flower Girl. If You and Your Attendants Love Bling, these Tank Tops Are for You! Available in 5 Sizes and 4 Colors (Large (8-10), Turquoise Maid of Honor)

• Pre-shrunk 100% combed ringspun cotton 5.8 ounce
• Side-seamed with a fashionable custom contoured fit
• Super soft 2×1 baby-rib knit
• 3/8″ neck and armhole binding
• Ladies: S, M, L, XL, 2XL

This beautiful rhinestone tank top runs very small. It is slim cut and fits snug. Most of our customers find that they should order a size larger than they would normally purchase.

This makes a great gift for your Maid of Honor or you Matron of Honor. If she like Bling, then she will love this tank top. These designs are also available on T-shirts, coming soon to Amazon. There are also coordinating tank tops for the Bride, Bridesmaids, Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom.

Beach Wedding Favors for Bridal Shower Parties

Bridal showers are opportunities for the female relative and friends of the future bride to shower her with gifts. Usually, these items include small kitchen appliances, decorative ornaments for the living room, and linens for the bedroom although sexy lingerie can also be given. It all depends on the mood of the bridal shower as well as the perceived preferences of the bride.

Your role as a bride is to accept the gifts gracefully, laugh at the jokes and provide for small tokens of appreciation in return. You may provide for beach wedding favors if you want to. The important thing is that you can express your gratitude to the guests for their generosity of heart.

Here are examples of such small tokens of appreciation. Choose one that best fits your wedding budget, style and preferences since you want these gifts to tie up with everything else about your big day.

Bead Charm Bracelet

Your female relative and friend will definitely appreciate Swarovski crystals mounted on silver-plated bracelets. You can choose from many designs to reflect your fashion sense or the current trends in jewelry.

Since there might be many guests in your bridal shower, you can also opt to just provide the bracelets for your bridesmaids while the rest of the guests are provided with more affordable beach wedding favors. Don’t worry about hurting sensibilities as most guests to bridal showers will not expect your gift in return anyway. You may also give gifts like toe rings, anklets and even headbands. These gifts are easy on the pockets and the eyes.

Monogrammed Flip Flops

Since your wedding will be centered on the beach, you have every reason to provide for flip flops as wedding favors. Although these very casual and very comfortable footwear are often associated with the beach, you can instruct the guests at your wedding to wear their flip flop gifts on the day of the wedding itself.

This is especially true if the ceremony will be held on the seashore where heels are not exactly the right choice of footwear. This way, you end up with guests in similar flip flops, truly a great photo opportunity. You may also add in smaller beach wedding favors in the shapes of flip flops. Think photo albums, key chains and candle holders, to name a few.

Bath Accessories

And then there are the batch accessories like bubble baths, salts and powders that you can provide for your guests. They can use these items to come out smelling like roses, so to speak, when they come to your wedding. Just like the rest of the wedding favors mentioned above, it would be nice if these bath accessories will tie up with the rest of your wedding motifs. For example, if your wedding color is lavender, then lavender salts are the way to go.

When choosing from among beach wedding favors as your thank-you gifts on your wedding day, we suggest going for the more affordable ones. Keep in mind that you still have to provide wedding favors for the people who were unable to attend the bridal shower.

1.Spa Weekend – a spa weekend is the perfect getaway with friends to relax. You can enjoy a massage, facial or just relax in the serene environment.

2.Sentimental Location- The bride would love to spend a weekend with friends at a location that is close to her, such as a place she went as a child, her old alma matter or someplace special to her. This may take a little more planning and research but if you can find a special place that means a lot to the bride she will truly appreciate and enjoy everything that you have done for her.

3.Wine Tasting – A weekend at the vineyard with a few bottles of fine wine and the company of your girlfriends is all you need to let the laughter and conversation unfold. Napa Valley is the most famous vineyard but if you don’t want to travel too far check your area for a local vineyard.

4.Camping and the great outdoors- if your friends are adventurous, bonding over a camp fire or enjoying kayaking, hiking and the great outdoors is a great weekend getaway.

5.Friend’s House- a friend may have a great summer house or even one close by that is a perfect location for a weekend slumber party with the girls.

How to Entertain Your Bridal Shower Party Guests

If you’re planning a wedding shower, you may be wondering how you’re going to keep the party going.  Unless you’re Martha Stewart, entertaining party guests can be a challenge.  Throwing a fun shower is definitely possible, though, and it’s much easier if you follow a few simple steps.

Know Your Wedding Shower Guests

The key to entertainment success knows what your guests will like.  Do you have a fun group of girls who have known each other for years?  They’ll probably be up for anything – the crazier the better.  But if your guests are more reserved, or don’t know each other as well, the silly games and gag gifts might not go over so well.  And, of course, a couple’s shower requires a totally different brand of entertainment to accommodate the men.

No matter who you’re entertaining, Her Bridal Favors has the perfect wedding favor ideas and game prizes.  The Whimsical Purse Design Key Chains or Lavender Flip Flop Note Pads are affordable and perfect for a girly bridal shower favors.  If it’s elegance you prefer, however, then the Photo Coasters or Egyptian Glass Perfume Bottles may be what you’re looking for.

Plan Your Wedding Shower Activities

Once you’ve decided what kind of entertainment your bridal shower guests will enjoy, it’s time to choose specific activities.  No matter what you do, though, just be sure that the bride is always the center of attention.  If you choose a game, it should be one that makes the bride feel special or makes her laugh.

You might play a trivia game to see how much the guests know about the bride or a drawing game that lets the guests draw their visions of the bride in her wedding gown.  There are guessing games, BINGO games, and everything in between.  You should be able to find one your guests, and the bride, will love.

Plan Your Wedding Shower Menu

After the games, it will be time for the bride to open her bridal gifts.  This is the perfect time for guests to enjoy cake, punch, and any other munchies you’re planning to serve.  For brunch showers, you can serve breakfast casseroles, sausage rolls, or fruit crepes.  Afternoon showers are a great time to serve finger sandwiches, cheese and crackers, and vegetable trays.

Try to serve at least three or four different food items in addition to the cake to ensure that there is something for everyone.  If you’re planning for a large group, you might consider having a separate dessert table with the wedding shower cake and a few other delectable delicacies to delight your guests.  Hire a caterer to help you plan the menu and prepare the food, or save money by doing it yourself.  Making your own food is much more affordable and personal, especially if the other shower hostesses pitch in to help.

Create an Atmosphere

The bridal shower decorations help set the stage for your party.  If you choose to decorate with bridal accessories, use items with wedding dresses, tuxedos, wedding rings, beautifully packaged bridal favors, and stunning wedding cakes.

Her Bridal Favors is the place to find wedding favors, bridal shower favors, and shower décor items to fit any theme and budget.  The Bride and Groom Salt and Pepper Shakers would make the perfect shower favors and table decorations.  And the Gratest Love of All Cheese Graters come in adorable bridal boxes that will delight your guests as soon as they walk in the room.

Entertaining wedding shower guests is not so hard if you do a little pre-planning.  It is a party, after all, and everyone will be ready to have a good time.  All you have to do is provide the place, the food, and a warm smile.  The rest will take care of itself.
